Windows 10: How do I reset PIN if I’m locked out for 2 hours perpetually??

I have several other devices, logged into the same Hotmail profile. Why can’t I find any other options to reset the pin and gain access to this laptop?

how to reset pin number

Hi,

Step 1: In the Lock screen, click on the I forgot my PIN link.

Step 2: Enter your Microsoft account password and click Next.

Step 3: If you have two-step verification turned on for your Microsoft account, you have to enter the recovery email address or phone number to verify your ownership.

Step 4: Enter the security code you’ve received from Microsoft, and click Next.

Step 5: Click on Continue to confirm. A popup will appear and you’re prompted to set up a PIN. Enter at least a minimum 4 digit new PIN number you want for your Microsoft account

After resetting PIN successfully, you can now sign in to Windows 10 with your Microsoft account using the new PIN. However, the "I forgot my PIN" option is only available at the sign-in screen when using a Microsoft account. If you are using a local account,
follow steps in Option 2.

If you are using a local account and forgot your PIN code, log in with your password and follow these steps below to reset your PIN.

Step 1: On your lock screen, under the PIN entry box, select Sign-in options and sign in with your password.

Step 2: Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options, and click on I forgot my PIN.

Step 3: Type your account password and click OK.

Step 4: Enter your new PIN in the fields and click OK. Then a new PIN is created.

Good luck

 

TPM lockout for 2 hours

Why do I get TPM locked out of Windows 10 for two hours with error "This sign in option is disabled because of failed sign in attempts or repeated shutdowns. Use a different sign in option or keep your device powered on for at least two hours and then try again." after entering wrong PIN too many times? There is no option to sign in with Microsoft account password on Windows 10 v2004 since it requires Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts. I had to wait two hours for the lockout to expire and if I get one more incorrect pin attempt I get locked out again for another two hours. Is there a way to reset the TPM 2.0 lockout on Windows 10 v2004. The TPM lockout makes the computer unusable for the next two hours. I have an ASUS motherboard and an ASUS TPM-M R2.0 module plugged into the motherboard TPM connector.

 

Windows PIN locked out - unable to reset

This did not solve my problem.

When setting up my new PC, I originally had a PIN and a Password to log onto my PC.

However, I incorrectly entered the PIN too many times and remember seeing some sort of system error message that I had been permanently locked out from my PIN. Whenever I follow the steps to reset the PIN, the PIN will not reset.

I can only log on using my Password now.

This is a brand new PC. If this cannot be solved, I plan to return my PC for a refund.
